Environmental Considerations

• Wire core wire rope (IWRC) must not be used at temperatures above 400°F.

• Fiber core wire rope (FC) must not be used at tem-peratures above 180°F.

• Fiber core ropes should not be subjected to degreas-ing solvents.

Effect of Anchor Shackle Pin or Crane Hook on Sling Eye

Read Definition on page 3

Damage to slings can occur if the wrong size pin or hook is used. The width of the pin or hook shouldnever exceed the natural inside width of the eye.

The eye dimension for each type and size of slingare shown in the capacity tables of this catalog. Ifyour pin or hook is large, request an oversized eyefor the sling.

WARNING Read Definition on page 3

D/d - Basket Hitch Effect

Tests have shown that whenever a sling body is bent around a diameter, the strength of the sling is decreased. D/d ratio is the ratio of the diameter around which the sling is bent divided by the body diameter of the sling.

WIRE ROPE AND SLING BASICSTwo major and opposing characteristics of wire rope slings are flexibility and resistance to abrasion. To a great extent, these traits are a direct function of the number of wires. Fewer wires means larger diameter wires, better abrasion resistance, and reduced flexibility. More wires result in decreased wire diameter, reduced abrasion resistance, increased flexibility and kink resistance.

The scale below shows the relative position of the sling constructions shown in this catalog as they pertain to abrasion resistance and flexibility.

EIP = Extra Improved Plow (Steel)FC = Fiber CoreIWRC = Independent Wire Rope Core

WIRE ROPE SLINGSFeatures, Advantages and Benefits

Promotes Safety• Tuff-Tag for capacity and serial numbered identification

for traceability and compliance with OSHA.Saves Money• Least expensive, per capacity, of all steel slings.• Use of EIP, IWRC rope gives 15% greater capacity than

IP, IWRC ropes.Saves Time• Countless combinations of sling terminations - hooks,

chokers and thimbles are available to fit specific lift requirements.

HOW TO ORDER WIRE ROPE SLINGSPrior to sling selection and use, review and understand the "Help" section pages 3 through 12.

Define rope diameter(One to three digits)1 1/4" shown in example.

Tolerances and Minimum LengthsRefer to tables for tolerances and minimum lengths.

Wire Rope ClassStandard rope classes are shown for each type and size of sling in the charts. Specific rope constructions are available upon request.

Note: Proof testing with certification available for all slings at an additional charge.

PERMALOC WIRE ROPE SLINGSLift-All Permaloc Slings are made using the flemish splice technique to form the eyes. Unlike the simple return loop method that places 100% of its strength on the swaged sleeve, Permaloc slings have reserve strength should the sleeve become damaged in use.

Features, Advantages and Benefits

Maintains all the basic Lift-All wire rope sling features plus ...

Promotes Safety

• Reserve strength - integrity of eyes not solely dependent upon steel sleeves

• IWRC resists crushing better than FC ropes

Saves Money

• When specified, thimble eyes protect wire rope from wear for increased life

• Good abrasion resistance for longer life

Permaloc With Single Part Body

Mechanically swaged, flemish eye splice wire rope slings

Note: Larger diameter slings available. Basket ratings are based on a minimum D/d of 25. See page 80.1. 1 Ton = 2,000 lbs.2. Minimum sling length when using standard eyes.Note: Length Tolerances - Single Part Wire Rope Slings - Standard length tolerance is plus or minus two rope diameters, or plus or minus 0.5% of the sling length, whichever is greater.** See page 94 for reduced choker capacity when using these hook sizes.

GROMMETS AND ENDLESS SLINGS



Promotes Safety

• Load stability and balance can be achieved by spreading sling legs in a basket or choker hitch

Saves Money

• Wear points can be shifted to extend sling life

• The most versatile style of sling - fewer slings to inventory

Saves Time

• Ideal for turning loads

• More flexible than eye slings of comparable strength

Grommets - Strand Laid, Hand Tucked

Made from one strand of EIP, 19 or 37 wire, hand laid and spliced to form a seven strand rope with no noticeable splice area. No sleeves to snag or get in the way.

Endless - Mechanical Splice

Made from one 6 x 19 or 6 x 37 EIP, IWRC wire rope, mechanically joined with steel sleeves. Achieves higher capacities at a lower cost.

Vertical and Basket ratings are based on a minimum D/d of 5. See page 74.

Do not lift with hook in splice area - sling damage may occur.

WIRE ROPE

Rotation Resistant Wire Rope

The Nominal Breaking Strength of a wire rope should be considered the straight line pull with both rope ends fixed to prevent rotation, which will ACTUALLY BREAK a new, UNUSED, rope. The Nominal Breaking Strength of a rope should NEVER BE USED AS ITS WORKING LOAD.

To determine the working load of a wire rope, the MINIMUM or NOMINAL Breaking Strength MUST BE REDUCED by a DESIGN FACTOR. The design Factor will vary depending upon the type of machine and installation, and the work permitted. YOU must determine the applicable Design Factor for your use.

For example, a Design Factor of "5" means that the Minimum or Nominal Breaking Strength of the wire rope must be DIVIDED BY FIVE to determine the maximum load that can be applied to the rope system.

Design Factors have been established by OSHA, by ANSI, by ASME and similar government and industrial organizations.

No wire rope should ever be installed or used without full knowledge and consideration of the Design Factor for the application.

The above is based on the 'Wire Rope Safety Bulletin' published by the "WIRE ROPE TECHNICAL BOARD".

CABLE & COMPONENTSWire Rope Clips

The following instructions, supplied by the Wire Rope Technical Board, will result in an approximate 80% effi-ciency rating when the clips are applied as instructed, on GAC, SSAC, RRL or RLL, 6 x 19 class or 6 x 37 class, fiber core or IWRC, non-Seale type construction wire rope. If applied to vinyl coated ropes, vinyl must first be stripped from clip connection area.

How to Apply Clips

1. Turn back the specified amount of rope from the thim-ble. Apply the first clip one clip width from the dead end of the wire rope (U-bolt over dead end - live end rests in clip saddle). Tighten nuts evenly to recommended torque.

2. Apply the next clip as near to the loop as possible. Turn on nuts firmly but do not tighten.

3. Space additional clips, if required, equally between the first two. Tighten on nuts - take up rope slack - tighten all nuts evenly on all clips to recommended torque.

4. NOTICE! Apply the initial load and retighten nuts to the recommended torque. Rope will stretch and be reduced in diameter when loads are applied. Inspect periodically and retighten to recommended torque.

Failure to make a termination in accordance with aforementioned instructions, or failure to periodically check and retighten to the recommended torque, may result in death or serious injury.

INSPECTION CRITERIA FOR WIRE ROPE SLINGS

THE DAMAGE: Broken Wires

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: The individual wires that make up the strands in a wire rope can break for various rea-sons including fatigue and overload. Wire rope slings must be taken out of service when you find 10 or more broken wires in one rope lay or 5 or more broken wires in one strand of one rope lay.

TO PREVENT: Avoid pulling rope across edges or protrusions.

THE DAMAGE: Corrosion / Heat Damage

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Absence of lubrication and discoloration of rope.

TO PREVENT: Hang slings for storage away from moisture. Do not use wire core slings above 400° F or fiber core slings above 180° F.

THE DAMAGE: Crushing

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: A section of rope that is flattened, where the cross section is no longer round.

TO PREVENT: Never allow loads to be set on top of slings.

THE DAMAGE: Wear

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Flat areas on the individual wires. When wires have lost one third or more of their original diameter, the sling must be taken out of service.

TO PREVENT: Do not drag sling on the ground and do not drag loads over slings. Pad high wear areas.

THE DAMAGE: Kinking, Bird Caging

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Bent strands of wire or strands standing out from their regular position in the body of the sling.

TO PREVENT: Protect rope from sharp edges of load by pads or other means. Do not shock load slings.

One Rope Lay

Remove slings from service when:• Capacity information is missing or illegible;• End attachments, including hooks, are cracked,

deformed or obviously worn;• Hook throat opening is increased more than 15%;• Hook is twisted out of plane by more than 10%.

CAUTION Do not inspect a sling by passing bare hands over the wire rope.

For inspection frequency, refer to page 7.Note: OSHA now requires wire rope slings to have "permanently affixed and legible identification markings"
